October 22, 2010 ~ I would never have believed that the endeavor to have My Darling Rosalie be voted BirdChannel’s Bird of the Day on the 3rd Anniversary of Her Journey to The Rainbow Bridge would have accomplished for her mom … Me … what it has. I have known since the first day I registered Rose on the BirdChannel that this is a very special place. And, once again, this community has demonstrated just what it is that makes it so very special.

Thank you all so very much for honoring My Baby Girl with this Award. As I read your kind, sweet words on her page throughout the day yesterday, I could hear Rose’s voice in my ear … already responding to each note in her inimitable way.

Today is a day to celebrate … what we have; what we’ve had; and what is possible. Returning to what this has all accomplished for me, I’ve discovered that I no longer have to miss My Rose B’Doze. She is with me once again.

Thank you all for this most precious gift.

October 22, 2007: ROSALIE, My Darling Baby Girl, How am I supposed to live without you? You arrived at the head of a comet, and your departure has been on the tail of another comet. You streaked across my life, so glorious and bright…and tonight my world is dark. You brought so much joy and laughter to our family, and to everyone who was privileged to know you. Your life has been a gift beyond compare. May we live to prove ourselves worthy of your grace, until we meet again on the day we cross the Rainbow Bridge together. We will honor your memory. Love Mom(~.~), Dad(`.`), and all of us in The K Kritter Korral..

Mom and Dad brought me home from the breeder 15 days after I hatched. I was a gift from my dad, who knew that a Blue and Gold was a long-held dream for Mom. **Rosalie, Light of My Life so bright...God sent a comet to herald your arrival!.

Mom's RIGHT shoulder (every chance I get!) Actually, it's the OTHER right shoulder...the one that's LEFT!!

Not being able to see my mom 100% of the time.

She never walks by me without giving me some lovin'; she finds the best toys!; she takes me with her every chance she gets--yard-sali- ng, shopping, to [her] doctors' visits, and even to church! (on weekdays).

I clamp my beak on one of Mom's fingers when she has to scrub something off the floor so I can "help" her clean it..

"I thought of you today, but that is nothing new. I thought about you yesterday and days before that too. I think of you in silence. I often speak your name. All I have are memories and a picture in a frame. Your memory is a keepsake with which I will never part. God has you in His arms. I have you in my heart." ~Unknown~

“Hope is the thing with feathers That perches in the soul, And sings the tune without the words, And never stops at all, ~ And sweetest in the gale is heard; And sore must be the storm That could abash the little bird That kept so many warm. ~ I've heard it in the chilliest land And on the strangest sea; Yet, never, in extremity, It asked a crumb of me.” ~~ Emily Dickinson ~~.

Hi Angel RoseBRRRRRRRRRR, what a cold, snowy day we're having. It is finally sunny but more snow in our forecast. I think we have more snow then ever this year. In 4 days we received 2 feet of the snowy white stuff. I really don't mind it, since I'm safe and warm watching my cartoons indoors but I hear from Momma Deb how disgusting it is out there. My Momma is busily creating with the workmanship of Chuey's Momma a whole group of unique and fun chew and play toys for us Parrots. I can't wait to test one out. I have seen them and the others who have their new toy seem to really be having fun with them. Birdsonally I'd like the helicopter. Hoping your day is wonderful and blessed, love Sweetie

Hello Sweet Rosalie~~~I hate that your life was too short but I celebrate the day you came to this earth! You left it a better place and filled so many lives with joy and love! That is one awesome legacy! Happy Hatchday dear Rosalie! With love ~ Sugar ♥

Ah Rosalie!You will always be remembered fondly, lovely lady. I know your mom will never stop missing you, but you reign in beauty at the Bridge. Your welcoming presence makes it easier for all the birdies who have come to join you there. Thinking of you....

Heya, Angel Miss Rosalie!Wow. It has been that long? We know that you are taking good care of all the birdies who are with you at the Rainbow Bridge...and we also know that you live on each time we think of you, or you welcome another of us to your home.

Awww RosalieHas it really been just seven years since the heartbreaking day you slipped from our wings? It seems like forever instead. Lots has changed in that time, but one thing never will — how much I miss you and yet adore you. You were my Girl, my Gal, my friend. Ya made me laugh, ya made me cry (that was when the jokes were REALLY funny), ya made me smile. I'd sure love t'still bein' sharin' the good times with ya.

Hello RosalieA very happy Hatchday! It is not only a special day because it is a New Year, but a special day because you came to the earth on this day! I wish your stay here could have been much, much longer but I think we were all blessed to have had you in our lives! Hatchday Hugs sweet Rosalie ~ Sugar

In Loving MemoryAngel Rosalie, You have done as much as an angel as any three other birdies on BC, so I am so very pleased to come greet you on your special day. I know this is a difficult one for your mom, so send her a beaky kiss from the Bridge for me, dear lady.

Rosalie and Mom Eva... from Angel Lee-RoialA few days ago, I was honored with BOTD. Well, I had the most fantastic celebration at the bridge, and you and every angel possible was there to make it just perfect. I know Mom has been having a rough time. For some crazy reason she decided to go back in time, to the day I first came to the Bridge. She never really read all the condolence messages – she couldn’t because she would break down every time she tried. Well, this time, she decided to read them all. I was there with her, doing what I could to console her, but she cried her heart out like when I first left her. The message from you Rosalie, to Mom was the start of it all. It was so beautifully written… She thought, imagine if we had Bird Channel taken from us and I never got to read all those beautiful messages to me. Mom somehow remembered that it must have been me that sent those baby greys to her to be taken care of, and she tiptoed into the bird room and got Leroy out of his cage, even though it was night, and she snuggled with him until the wee hours, and he seemed to know and understand she needed him. Well, I just want to say thank you again for what you wrote back then. Love from Lee-Roial

Congrat's on being BOTD. My name is Oz and I'm a Rose Breasted Cockatoo. Mommy is my 3rd owner and she says that I'm now in my Forever Home. Here's a vote to a beautiful Angel and I hope your celebrating with many other Angel Birds at the Rainbow Bridge. Bye for now.
